Since we have been together, it has been a rollercoaster ride. Lots of ups and lots of down. We both know the ups are so much better than the downs.

I stayed single for 8 months, I accepted that I was not going to have a future husband (no but seriously, we've all had that feeling). You came into my life when I was not looking for "the one." We met on a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and since then my life has been great.

Thank you for proving that you are in it for the long run. Thank you for also proving that you do not want to rush things. Thank you for not giving me an engagement ring, just because you are getting older and all of your friends are settling down. Thank you for the promises you made and kept when you gave me my promise ring.

This post is for you.

Thank you for letting God be the center of our relationship.

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

Thank you for being a great listener.

"My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger."

James 1:19

Thank you for not abusing me: emotional, physically, and verbally.

"And husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter towards them."

Colossians 3:19

Thank you for always uplifting my ideas.

"So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing."

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Thank you for teaching me new things.

"Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm."

Proverbs 13:20

Thank you for keeping your word and not lying.

"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight."

Proverbs 12:22

Thank you for helping me when my anxiety and/or depression takes over.

"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad."

Proverbs 12:25

Thank you for being forgiving.

"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."

Ephesians 4:32

God's timing is PERFECT.

I can not thank you enough.

I can not wait for this adventure called life together!

I love you!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
